Norn Iron working class who is not working class anymore. I will be OK. Thing is as my SO gets sicker I get angrier at all of the shit. I am actually trying not to post too much because I am guilty of the same shit every single time. I am fucked off. I should not be worrying about our leaders inability to try an deal with covid. I should not be worried about the leader of the free world being a fucking nazi. I should not have to worry about food insecurity and public health nightmares across the world because the wealthy west is not stepping up. We live in our own secure bubble and I am privileged that we can do that. But I am fucking furious that even that bubble cannot protect my wee family and at this point in time, when that should be my only focus, these democracy stealers need my fucking attention. Just fucking sayin!
